What educators are saying

We really enjoyed this in my 8th grade class. Using lyrics as a way to find text evidence was a nice change from longer texts, especially for my students who struggle with reading endurance.
This was a great, well thought out resource that had the kids super engaged and it complimented my lesson well.
